People have always been my favourite subject,
and my interest in relationships and
personalities is clearly evident in my work.
I particularly like to work with families, with
siblings being the most popular.

I prefer to use oil on canvas for my paintings, and
work largely from photographs. I have a strong
base in drawing and a great eye for detail. I have
an intuitive way with colour, making my
paintings rich and warm.

I graduated from Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland in 2002
with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, having majored in Printmaking.
My work featured in several group exhibitions from 2000-2002.

I worked as a jewellery designer at a manufacturing and retail
jewellers in Auckland for 8 years. In that position I consulted
with clients to design unique pieces of jewellery.

I've been focusing on painting since 2010, and have been taking
commissions since then.

I currently live in Whangarei with my husband and beautiful
baby daughter.
